Here goes TR again... Obssessed with someone's background, diplomas, etc.
Who is going to set the bar for whom may be pontifical? You, TR?
Lay off SK. I hope he sticks around, he has sparked some good discussion.
Attendance may be at an all time high in raw numbers. But how much of that is due to the fact that the US population is higher?
Do you really believe, TR, that baseball is as popular as it was in the 40's & 50's? I don't.
Is it doing better than it was during that ugly strike garbage time? Yes. But that ain't saying much.
I truly hope that baseball is reaching a wider percentage of the American population. But commie kickball and the like sure seem to be gaining traction with the youngsters.
Would wood bats create a huge jump in interest? Probably not. But it might help some.
Besides, the main reason I personally want wood bats to return is to hear that beautiful sharp crack of the bat - rather than that awful "Ding"!
